Tacoma FAQ
What rent hike triggers payment?
A defined percentage threshold set by TMC 1.95; once exceeded, the tenant can opt to leave and claim relocation assistance, with the exact percentage published on the city's Rental Housing page.
Does relocation apply to evictions for cause?
No. Relocation assistance attaches to no-fault displacements and qualifying rent-increase departures, not to evictions for tenant nonpayment or lease violations under just-cause grounds.
